About the Innovation Week

The Innovation Week offers the opportunity for everyone within the public sector to spread the word about their experience of new smart solutions. What we all have in common is that we are committed to innovate the public sector in Sweden. An innovative and collaborative public sector is crucial for the renewal of welfare and in addressing the societal challenges.  The idea is to mobilize the public sector to share ideas, work and solutions for a more innovative public sector.

Everyone who contributes to public sector innovation are welcome to arrange activities during the week. With joint forces activities are offered all over Sweden both physically and digitally. Each organizer design and carry out their own activity. All registered activities are published and searchable on the site Innovationsveckan.nu that shows the whole programme for the week, free of charge.

The Innovation Week is being organized for the sixth year in a row. This year, we want to draw attention to how we might spread and scale innovative solutions whitin the public sector.
